Landmines are a scourge left behind as a byproduct of war. They kill and maim thousands every year. Mimes, on the other hand, are a scourge foisted upon us by the French, with their "wedicuwous stwiped shirts and blanc gloves".
The solution is to combine the two: Send mimes, hands over their ears,
into minefields, stomping tentatively ahead of them, to rid the world of abandoned anti-personnel ordnance.
You know you want to.

Deployed from a helicopter, they can rappel on imaginary rope. |

The blast from a mine is a considerable explosion - which of course can be regarded as essentially a sudden movement of air from one location to its nearby spaces, and it is this shift in the mass of air that results in a significant portion of the destruction. |

Er, no, [Ian], it's actually the shock wave, plus opportunistic projectiles (unless it's a fragmentation AP mine). The air molecules move forwards, backwards, and then pretty much back to their original position, transmitting energy in the process. |

Oh, in that case, the polo-necked ones would entertainingly put their hands out to fight against the shock wave whilst leaning and pretending to run into the force, which moves the air forwards, backwards, then pretty much back to their original position. |

Sounds like mime abuse to me. What would Marcel Marceau
say about this? Probably nothing since he's dead. (sorry that
was tasteless) |

Not dead enough .... you can't trust 'em. Not only a mime, but French as welll ..... better stake him through the heart again, just to be sure. |
|

You can't be certain a mime is dead until it's been dismembered. They're clever little buggers who can pretend almost anything in very convincing style. |
